Forget petty politics; focus on US spending

Monday

Enough already! Stop the babbling! Good immigrant, bad immigrant! Good country, bad country! Nice place to visit, terrible place to visit!

We can always find either example to hold up for viewing depending on our own personal politics or life experiences. We can all make the same good/bad arguments for parts of our own country.

Forget the petty politics of our elected “leaders” in Washington.

What we should really be discussing is the shenanigans of the past few weeks in Washington. One week we are told what a nice thing this new tax cut is. (Who wouldn’t like one)? The next week we are told there is no money to run the government so we must raise the debt limit (national credit card) to pay for the $1 trillion in new spending. How can we have it both ways?

Oh, I forgot. We can enjoy the tax cut. Children and grandchildren can pay it off for us. What a good deal this is.
